  It should be fast enough to handle double aggro easily and powerful enough to take down most everything in one shot. What it doesn't kill it should knock back since it gains charges so quick at rank 1. The advantage over Ice spear is much higher single target damage and not having to worry about drawing aggro from everything caught in your AoE. Mana usage should be way less than spear and it's going to be absolute hax on boss monsters.

  
  
  Do fully charged bolts always cause knockback? It really isn't that strong, at least not enough for one-shotting in Hard Shadow Missions (by the looks of it, it would take maybe 3-7 non-crits).
  It's clearly a replacement for CC+4 Firebolt with stellar damage, but it doesn't look like it can compete with Intermediate magic as far as quickly clearing groups of mobs goes (Shadow Wizard and Orb Room type situations).

  Does it ignore Protection when calculating criticals?

  This still only applies in situations with single-double aggro. In frequent dungeons like Ciar Advanced, how is this going to prove it's worth better than Ice Spear? In r1 Hailstorm situations, it *might* be able to one-shot, but it's still single-target.
  
  It's like comparing 99% r1 Magnum Shots vs. r1 Ice Spear in multi-aggro, high-risk dungeons if you're an Elf. On one hand, Magnum Shot is low cost (like Hailstorm's supposed Mana efficiency) and can handle single targets (like boss monsters) easily and maybe double targets, because of it can "reload" quickly. Sounds like Hailstorm, no? Only it's using Stamina instead of Mana, it loads much faster, and you can move with it.
  
  On the other hand, Ice Spear is considered "high cost" on the MP, but can handle multi-aggro situations much better than Magnum Shot. Hailstorms fares as well as Magnum Shot, so why should Hailstorm be any "superior" than Ice Spear?
  
  EDIT: As for Magic Ice Mastery, the only true benefit is the 15% reduction in casting time of Ice Magic. This applies to Hailstorm, but remember, it also applies to Ice Spear. So saying Magic Ice Mastery can help Hailstorm be superior to Ice Spear doesn't support it.

  Just a question:
  
  Why are people calling it Leap attack when its down attack o.e?
• Phunkie wrote on 2010-07-19 02:26
  I dunno, man.
  
  Wiki used to say Leap Attack before it said Down Attack.
  
  Plus, Down Attack sounds silly.
  
  It makes me think of myself getting beat up by a bunch of children with Down's syndrome.

  It's like Charge and Assault, really. Assault sounds better but people will get used to saying Charge.

  there is no casting time boost anymore, just adv magic nerf. ice spear does 30% less damage than hailstorm.

  But a Crown Ice Wand provides a 28% damage boost, reducing it to 10% less.

  In the fortification/strenghtening video, when we see the fortification/whatever window, we can hear two people pvp, and at some point, we hear something that goes like..... Firebolt to Leap attack.
  
  Could this lead to something? :D

  
  
  Leap attack is best for melee imo
  1+WM+Leap attack+Smash+LB+Assault+1+WM....etc or something like that
  
  Edit: Oops, it's called down attack :P
